Music: Sun Nov 20

Solo piano music by American composers is highlighted at
this year’s Thanksgiving Service. In addition, the general call to U.U. congregations
to make reference to Native American people at these services is reflected in
excerpts from Arthur Farwell’s Impressions
of the Wa-Wan Ceremony of the Omahas and Harvey Worthington Loomis’s Lyrics of the Native American.

Edward MacDowell’s seasonal favorite A.D. 1620 and a nifty
set of variations on Yankee Doodle round out the Prelude music. Two
arrangements of popular songs by George Gershwin are included in the Offertory.
The CUUC Choir is on hand with the Spiritual “Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel?”
and John Rutter’s embodiment of thankfulness in “For the Beauty of the Earth”.
